Aggregate all the .css and .js files from all plugins into combined files in order to speed up page load and minimize HTTP Requests from the browsers.

Many plugins add CSS files and script files to your blog. This will require more HTTP requests and will slow down page load because browsers are limited by the number of concurrent connections.

Using Caching plugins is not enough because they will only optimize the server side, this plugin will help optimizing the client side by reducing requests.

This plugin does everything automatically and supports browser caching.

Features:

  • Support for CSS media types

  • Support for header and footer scripts

  • Support browser caching by changing ?ver=x when a file is modified

  • Automatically generating new css/js when one of the css/js files is changed

Notes: 

The plugin will only aggregate css/js files which plugins add in the standard way (enqueuing). Other files would not be aggregated and would still be included separately. Most plugins adds script and style files in the standard way.

WPMU - the plugin doesn't currently support WPMU. Please stay tuned for next version.
